This is where the land of the Joshua Trees meet the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. The air here is clear, and the clouds and summer thunderstorms keep the day time skies interesting… but when the sky is blue, it’s impossibly blue.

There are many layers to this experience we call reality. Layers of knowing, layers of the senses, layers of the spirit and intuition, layers of people just trying to live their lives, layers of mainstream news, layers of secret societies and power control groups, layers of intelligence networks, layers of corporate greed, layers of criminal ...

June 16, 2013 – NSA, warrant-less-wiretapping, secret detentions, The Illuminati, reptilians, secret societies, nightmare techno-fascists, angry militarized police thugs, constant survellience, things that go bump in the night and more… Is this paranoid? Not if it turns out to be true.

June 12, 2013 – A graphic metaphor loaded with all kinds of different meanings, from the power of money in politics, the NSA intrusions into our privacy, the rise of the surveillance state during Obama’s administration, to conspiracy theories about secret societies like The Illuminati controlling the President, and, of course this image means all ...

April 6, 2013 – Reposted from www.godwin-home-page.net – One day Godwin and I were discussing what the enlightened person might be like. As usual the conversation was wide-ranging and eluded to ideas from the Buddhist texts, Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, Taoism and other traditions…

March 31, 2013 – The plan for this adventure began last year, with the goal being to go camping in our friend’s Roadtrek 190 RV (a very generous friend!) to see what “RV Camping” was like, and to decide if we’d want to take the RV on a cross-country adventure later this year.

March 7, 2013 – Yesterday afternoon I watched a really long alternative history type documentary with pretty low production values… Towards the end of the film the video quality totally deteriorated. Bad video compression? Copied too many times? Both? – I don’t know, but the picture was digitally trashed…

February 5, 2013 – It started with a post on Facebook on Saturday morning (February 2, 2013): “I have never read any work by Philip K Dick, even though he’s considered by some to be one of the greatest novelists of the Twentieth Century. This month I’m launching into a marathon reading project to try ...

January 31, 2013 – After The End Of The World, Part Two | In this post we go down a rabbit hole of books – into fear and loathing, conspiracy theories, alien abductions, near-death experiences and finally into the NOW…

January 19, 2013 – After The End Of The World, Part One | December 21, 2012 – a.k.a. “the end of the world” – was quite a good day for me. Probably one of the best days I’d had in weeks, and definitely one of my top ten best days of 2012.

January 8, 2013 – I’m finding that being “in the process of writing” my first novel-sized literary construction to be an excellent way to watch the long-term (meaning anything that took longer than a couple of days to finish) creative process as it happens.

October 10, 2012 – There is so much beauty to see in Joshua Tree National Park – there is the land itself along with the iconic namesake trees. There are the small flowers, the lizards, snakes, plants of various kinds – and then there are the boulders…

FYI – Over the next few weeks you’ll be noticing new little changes to onehumanbeing.com – like my new little header which I’ll be changing that every month now…
Why? Because I can…
Also, you be getting much more updates about my ride on the Bipolarcoaster – something I’ve been rather quiet about for months.
September was hell ...

A song for the moment – I recommend it be played repeatedly and very loud…
“Hell Broke Luce”
by Tom Waits
I had a good home but I left
I had a good home but I left, right, left
That big fucking bomb made me deaf, deaf
A Humvee mechanic put his Kevlar on wrong
I guarantee you’ll meet up with a ...

August 4, 2012 – When I’m making a sound collage it’s an experience that is very visual for me, like I’m working on a physical collage – except the picture is just in my head, and what everyone else experiences is an audio experience.

July 31, 2012 – On my birthday, back on June 18th, I got the idea in my head that NOW would be a good time to look into making a CD out of my latest group of sound collages and call it Grand Deception Star.

July 25, 2012 – 3 complete albums, and one EP of sound collages are NOW available from UFOverdriver on CD!!!
Each album takes you on a journey of sound aboard the UFOverdriver into the sub-conscious realms of today and the quantum possibilities of tomorrow…

June 29, 2012 – Grand Deception Star is a collection of selected sound collages from December of 2010 through May of 2012, and though previously released on their own, make a complete vision when grouped together.

June 13, 2012 – I have several albums that I’m listening to that are forming my June 2012 soundtrack – the lead one is M. Ward’s 2006 album “Post War”, it’s really gotten under my skin and it’s turned out to be perfect for Long Beach’s “June Gloom” days…

May 21, 2012 – I love the land of my birth, and everyday I try to dream of a better American future…
An America that celebrates it’s diversity, embraces it’s dreamers who live outside the box and off the grid, and a place that is full of generous people…

This collage was created in the mid-1990’s. The original materiel for this collage were done on sailcloth stretched over a silkscreen frame. The collage was measured off into 6″ x 4″ pieces, cut out and mounted in a book created for them…

May 12, 2012 – For some reason I had this poem stuck in my head yesterday, and when I found it I realized it was exactly 26 years, to the day, from when I wrote this: May 11, 1986 – nice synchronicity!

January 28, 2012 – Tania has started posting a random photo of the day on her Facebook page, and because you might not be her friend on Facebook I wanted to post the photos from this last week, along with her captions… Enjoy!

January 16, 2012 – Since 2007 I’ve been a member of a number of different collectives in Long Beach. I’ve volunteered, built websites, taken photos of over 300 different strains of medical marijuana, and grown to care about a number of incredible people.
I’ve also watched one collective after another crumble under the burden of legal ...

Talking Medical Marijuana Blues – Part Four
Rev. Martin Luther King stated over 40 years ago in a speech that “the arc of the moral Universe is long, but it’s bent towards Justice…”
During my long, personal civil rights march towards medical marijuana justice I’ve seen that this statement is true, just as I also believe that ...

Talking Medical Marijuana Blues – Part Three
A Life Long Journey
I wasn’t diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder until I was 33 years old. This revelation – that there was a medical reason, of some kind, behind my most confusing moods and actions – caused a paradigm shift that made me look back over my life through a ...

Talking Medical Marijuana Blues – Part Two
That’s No Way To Get Your Medicine
There was a time, not very long ago, when I would often have to wait for days, sometimes a week to get my medicine. Sometimes nothing would be available from the few friends I knew, who knew a friend, who knew a friend ...

Talking Medical Marijuana Blues – Part One
Today I have a number of thoughts about medical marijuana running around my head, all of which I’ve grouped under the heading of Talking Medical Marijuana Blues in my head.
I plan on posting several articles today and tomorrow following this line of thinking…
In these postings I’d like to tell ...

January 12, 2012 – From a musical that will never be written (most likely) – in three parts… it begins as follows:
The Transfiguration of Newt – Standing above a gathering of his followers, Newt was transfigured before their eyes into a being of brilliant light…

Every day has it’s threads.
We wake up, move through the day and different ideas come at us from different directions. Sometimes they seem to form a meaningful pattern – sometimes it’s just an abstract tapestry.
Here’s a few threads I’d like to remember from Wednesday, December 28, 2011.
The Flaming Lips perform I Am The Walrus
I really ...

Throughout our country’s history, we have grown as a civilization and a culture because individuals stood up to the status quo as they saw a greater light of justice, a better world than the one they lived in; The Abolitionists, Women’s Suffragettes, The Civil Rights Movement and The Gay Rights Movement, just to name a ...

I’m into the third week of building a habit of posting a new image every day on the onehumanbeing facebook page.
I’m doing pretty good with the new habit – so far only one Today’s Image had to be posted a day late…
Here’s a gallery of the images from September 29th through October 5th:
During this time ...

I’ve decided to try and create a habit of posting an image a day on my Facebook page… a process I started a week and a half ago on the 19th.
Here’s the first image I posted.
All the images posted so far have been from a series called Raising The World Tree/Incoming Comet.

A Transcendent Moment
Have you ever had a moment when you connected with a song in a way you can’t really explain to anyone else, like a transcendent music moment?
I had one yesterday during an even larger transcendental moment, which happened like many deeply spiritual moments, while I was washing the dishes…
To put it briefly, and ...

Note from Jon, onehumanbeing: I address this to you on the eve of a total lunar eclipse over North America, and just a few days before the Winter Solstice. We are on the cusp of a 30-year cycle of change as well as larger, era-changing moment in human history… these are significant times we are ...

I went up to The Treehouse Collective to take photos of a bunch of strains that had come in the day before. I was expecting 8 strains, but there were 12 different ones to photograph when I arrived. Lucky me!
It’s been a little while since I’ve visited my collective to do the photographing work I ...

November 27, 2010 – Over twenty years ago, in May of 1990, Tania and I moved to Long Beach. At the time we were involved with a group of artists, actors, musicians and short-film makers (who had migrated from Colorado to California together) which we had met through our job working at an interior design ...

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a great day eating, relaxing and remembering all the people, places and things you are thankful for…

In honor of our friends…
Our friends, Russ and Laura, have been traveling by bicycle across the United States since last Summer on an open-ended journey.
For several years before they left Long Beach to follow their dreams, they were a major part of our Friday night Happy Hour crew which met every week ...

Here’s my thought for the day;
The Sun rests like a crown on the head of mankind,
but the Heart is the center of everything.
Have a blessed day.
Note on drawing: sketch created on 8-20-2010 to illustrate the idea expressed in today’s thought…

Change? You’re soaking in it…
After a prolonged period of depression (this latest bout started in early July around the 8th) it takes some extra effort to start communicating again; responding to emails, getting back on Facebook, getting my various project sites updated and trying to reconnect with my friends again because my head is so ...

For some odd reason I’ve chosen a couple of Frank Zappa songs as my Fourth of July/Independence Day posting…
Both of these songs are from an album that’s still inspiring and relevant 45 years after it was released (1965) – Freak Out! by The Mothers of Invention – thank you Mr. Zappa, sir.

Today is June 2, 2010 – and the second day of my lamentations for America… my soul is crying. Weeping and wailing and throwing ashes on my head (figuratively speaking) – so sad.
I have been working on some sound collages for the last couple of night, ever since we returned from camping in the desert… ...

Another movie running through my mind…
I keep watching this strange movie in my head about this massive, rotting tree. A huge tree, bigger than any tree I’ve ever seen – only it dead inside, rotting, but with billions of creatures are making their home on it. Groups of creatures patch up their bit of the ...

I have this little movie I just can’t get out of my head, so let me try and share it with you…
I keep watching a party of crazy, angry people – shouting and stomping around with packages of firecrackers in their hands – with all the fuses being lit with more great shouts and more ...

This Just In – Jon Christopher, (AKA – Jon, onehumanbeing) is the real mastermind behind vast, imaginary, left-wing conspiracy… as seen here:

My new sound collages now have a project name – UFOverdriver
That’s pronounced “You-Eff-Overdriver”… and the U and the F are initials that stand for lots of different things… but that’s something we’ll discuss sometime later down the road.
Here’s the first sound collage created under this name (even though my previous sound collage called Area 5150 ...

What Are Sound Collages?
As a little kid I was fascinated by my parent’s cassette recorder and would play with it all the time, making recordings and dreaming about making what I now call sound collages.
A sound col­lage is like a paper col­lage, but using audio sam­ples, syn­the­siz­ers, drum tracks and other audio mate­r­ial to cre­ate ...

Abducted by Aliens…
Some people might have been wondering where I’ve been lately… maybe abducted by aliens or something?

Last year my motto for the year was Share Your Truth, and this year my motto is Share Your Story…
Where does my motto come from?
I have been following the tracks of a vision, a creative pilgrimage of sorts, for several years which I am now chronicling on one of my project sites I launched in ...

Do You Realize…
I love the ecstatic humanity expressed in this video, and it contains many of my hopes for 2010…
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize – we’re floating in space
Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize – that everyone you know someday will die

Walking my dogs through the Heavens…
Every day I walk my two dogs, Moseley and Suki around the neighborhood – several times.
A while ago I came across a Star Chart from yesteryear (really old, that is) with drawings of the constellations, including Canis Major and Canis Minor, which looked a lot like my Moseley and Suki.

I rescued this flier before the rains came down because I thought it looked really cool – made with spray paint and a hand-cut stencil on cardboard.
It was posted on the corner for over a week, and I’ve been looking at it everyday. The show was a week ago so I figured it was time ...

Sometime around the end of October this year something went weird with my blog, the onehumanblog, and I lost control of the background administration area and links to my blog have been causing “Page Not Found” errors.
I have no idea how this happened, or how to fix it – and that’s after numerous hours making ...

Here’s a sketch I did last night in my notebook, thinking about my story and allowing the picture of myself as the two-headed dragon I’ve been writing about to pour out of my pen on to the paper.

Around this time of the day – the early afternoon – on August 14th, 2006, Tania called me up because she had a desperate situation at work. A dog problem.
One of her people had this dog he needed someone to look after while he went into the hospital. Tania had called everyone she could think ...

My question for myself today…
“How many of my personal ills and those of society are caused by a lack of appreciation – appreciation of friends and family, the simple and the good, the acts of love and simple kindness that I encounter every day?”
What do you think?

I had a pretty bad depression storm move in this last week, and I’ve been tracking it by making daily posts on Facebook. Tonight I thought I’d try to elaborate a little on those postings…

Continued from The Monster Pill – July 19, 2009…
Last summer, and during August in particular, I went through a really bad depression – I mean – really bad. As you can see from the drawing to the left that I made of my brain in my sketchbook during that time it was not good.

If I’m okay, then you’re okay…
In a world that is often childish and emotionally driven, I find there are days when I’m less than my ideal self, and everything I do seems to be a reaction from my emotional storms and bi-polar-coaster ride.
On those days the old 70’s saying “I’m OK, you’re OK” gets warped ...

Here’s the graphic I posted the day we voted, November 4th, 2008, as I was in the midst of writing my “STEW” story based on Esau and Jacob as a metaphor of the Obama/McCain situation, and as the story is told – you can read it starting in Genesis 25 – Jacob gets everything, and ...

Decisions, Decisions…
Time is a map and we build upon it with our dreams and decisions. Every thing we do, and every action we engage in has an effect upon ourselves and on the world around us.
The abstract expressionist painter Robert Motherwell wrote that a painting is the result of thousands of decisions. If you have ...

It may seem like I’ve disappeared, but I’m still here… weathering a long storm of depression.
This storm started back in late April, and has come and gone in waves, in cycles within cycles.
I should be use to this by now, but I never get used to it, always hoping that the blue sky days will ...

I’ve pondered this thought often over the last few months…

It is a super-project that launched a number of different sub-projects that have come and, mostly, gone (into my digital portfolio) such as redbotlovesyou.com, The Philip K. Dick Reading Club, The Turning, The MMJ Project, The MMJ Lists, The All-Seeing Eyebama, and UFOverdriver.

Most of this work has been done as Jungian experiments to explore the use of consciousness and the collective conscious as both subject matter and as an art material.
